Bright Spring

Most of the people who couldn't wait to persuade them to come in that day were Beijing officials who were frustrated in the Hongxi Dynasty.It is not a bad thing for them to enter the city, but it is a rare opportunity!And the officials of the imperial court were more concerned about their face, and they were more calm.

Whether it was the King of Yan who came to Beijing in those days or the King of Han now, there will be no shortage of officials; Jianchao, Hongxichao, and all courts, after all, there are only a few people who are satisfied with high authority.

Outside the lobby door, what is even more strange is that an official is shuttling through the crowd, holding a booklet and a brush in his hand, asking for the names of the officials while writing records; followed by a sergeant, holding an inkstone waiting.The official's surname was Hou, because some people called him "Hou Changshi".

Yao Fang understood that these people were not trying to persuade them to come in, but were eager to stand in line.

"If you have any ideas, go to the next corridor to see Mr. Pei, and tell Mr. Pei first. Well said, Mr. Pei will bring you to see the prince." Hou Changshi said loudly.

Yao Fang ignored this group of messy people, he walked to the entrance of the lobby, and said to the guard at the door: "Master Yao Fang, please see the prince, please inform me."

After a while, he was allowed to enter the lobby.

There were a lot of people outside just now, and it was very chaotic; but there were no two people in the lobby, which seemed a bit empty.

Zhu Gaoxu was still wearing armor, and was sitting on the public seat above. He supported his head with his arms, looking thoughtful; he only looked up when he saw Yao Fang coming in.

Yao Fang stepped forward and cupped her fists in worship: "The last general pays homage to the lord."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: "Good time! We haven't seen each other for a long time." After he finished speaking, he immediately pointed to the ragged young man next to him who seemed to have just come out of prison, and said, "His name is Du Erlang. Du Erlang went home Clean up your body; you are all familiar with the affairs of Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi, so let's take care of it together."

The King of Han didn't have half a word of extraneous words, let alone greetings and complicated etiquette, and his speaking speed was relatively fast.He seemed to be thinking about something important in his heart.

"The last general has orders!" Yao Fang said together with the embarrassed Du Erlang.Yao Fang has no interest in official positions at all, and only wants revenge.The revenge of killing the mother, the revenge of killing the "wife"!

At this time Yao Fang was still standing there.Sure enough, Zhu Gaoxu was a very vigilant person, he frowned slightly and asked, "General Yao, what else do you need to report?"

Yao Fangdao: "Daoyan, who presides over Qingshou Temple, is the head of the prince's henchmen. The assassination of the late emperor must have been planned by Daoyan himself, and this is the chief culprit."

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Yao Fang with divine eyes, and quickly responded: "General Yao's mother passed away, and he has a great relationship with him. Your father has also been wronged for many years. I know you have a family feud."

Yao Fang kept silent and acquiesced to the matter.

Zhu Gaoxu went on to say: "Why did I never have hatred in my heart? But now, personal hatred must be put aside first, and the overall situation must be put first, and we will talk about it when the situation is stabilized!

That Daoyan is the late emperor's confidant, and he has no enmity with the late emperor; if the death of the late emperor is blamed on Daoyan, it will be difficult to convince people, but it will drag down the credibility of the interpretation of the whole thing!harmful rather than beneficial. "

Yao Fang felt helpless after hearing this, and felt that what Zhu Gaoxu said was reasonable, so she had to give up this method and think of another method.He said: "The general understands."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "We have turned around now, and there is no need to lose our own interests for revenge. General Yao has to learn to think in many ways, and we can go further in the future."

Yao Fang bowed and said: "The general will obey the order of the prince, and now go to Jinyiwei Yamen to handle business."

Watching Yao Fang's back walk out of the entrance of the lobby, Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand to rub his temples for a while, and continued to think about the way to ascend the throne.

There are two factors in the legitimacy of his throne.There is no need to worry about the "orthodoxy" of the former emperor Zhu Di, as long as it is praised in the enthronement edict; the key is to prove that the crown prince Gao Chi is extremely illegal!

Up to now, Gao Chi is of course "illegal", because the crusade army has already entered the city; Zhu Gaoxu has the final say on everything!But because of this, people in the world will question whether Gao Chi's party is really plotting to kill the king and his father; if this matter can be explained credibly, Zhu Gaoxu's throne will be more secure in the future.

When they met at Yumen before, the eldest brother proposed to write an edict of guilt and pass the fault on to the minister.If Zhu Gaoxu would follow his plan, first get Gao Chi's edict of guilt and ascend the throne; after he sat on the throne, he would settle accounts later and re-determine the death of the late emperor, that would be the fastest way to ascend the throne.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't do that in the end, because he still recognized his elder brother's character in his heart.As his own younger brother, he was unwilling to use this method against his elder brother.

So now that Zhu Gaoxu wants to ascend the throne immediately, he feels a bit of a headache.

The confidants Qi Tai and Gao Xianning are not in the capital; Chang Shi Hou Hai is smart in small things, but his talents are very limited in big things, and those officials outside who want to get a little bit of meritorious service, the proposals they put forward are even more extraordinary. Ridiculous, it doesn't work at all!

Zhu Gaoxu stood up from the public seat, paced back and forth above the lobby, bowed his head in thought.

He is currently in a somewhat impetuous state of mind, and the ecstasy and pride of becoming the master of the capital has become a disadvantageous factor affecting him. After the complete victory of the "Battle of Criminology", the danger on the battlefield is no longer there, but the matter is not over, and many things are still imminent.

The sun has already shone into the lobby from a high window in the west, Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the angle of the sun, and guessed that the sun is westward, and after a while it will be You hour.

He suddenly felt anxious.On the first day of entering the capital, apart from controlling the entire city and the imperial palace in a step-by-step manner, the Chinese army hardly came up with any effective strategies.Think about it tomorrow, is it too late?

It stands to reason that it doesn't matter if you ascend the throne one day later or one day earlier.But Zhu Gaoxu always has a sense of urgency, perhaps because he is used to fighting; on the battlefield, some things must be decisive, let alone delaying for a day or an hour may cause serious consequences!

At this moment, a guard came in with a wooden tray, put a cup of freshly brewed tea on the case, bowed to Zhu Gaoxu, and exited the lobby.

Zhu Gaoxu walked back to the case, picked up his teacup, and faced the sunlight coming in from the window on the wall.He lifted the lid, and gently fanned the hot tea with the lid, and a fresh fragrance came out.He forced himself to control his emotions and let his mood gradually return to normal and calm.

Numerous disturbing related people, etc., flashed through his mind like a horse on a horse, which made him feel a little lost.

Suddenly, Zhu Gaoxu put down his teacup and blurted out: "Xue Yan!"

When he made a sound, the generals and guards inside the door looked sideways.

Zhu Gaoxu looked suddenly enlightened, with a joyful expression on his face, pointing to a general and said: "Xue Yan, go and call Xue Yan to see him immediately!" After he finished speaking, he immediately said, "When the man arrives, take him to the signing room to meet with me. Meet alone."

The general clasped his fists and said, "The last general has orders!"

Zhu Gaoxu let out a long sigh of relief, turned around and walked towards the hallway to the north.After passing the hall, there is another deep courtyard, where the second hall and the signing room are located.

The eldest brother Gao Chi asked Xue Yan to investigate the case of the late emperor's death. Zhu Gaoxu probably knew what kind of mentality he was thinking about. In addition, when he was at Yumen at noon today, Gao Chi asked Zhu Gaoxu to understand his elder brother's mind better.

However, it was Xue Yan's investigation of the case that created a huge loophole for Gao Chi's party!

Zhu Gaoxu walked into a signing room of the Ministry of Rites and sat there waiting for a while.At this time, Xue Yan, who was wearing a black gauze and a red robe, was brought in by the general.Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand, and the general retreated with his fists clasped.

Xue Yan slightly turned his head to glance at the evasive general, then bowed his head and said, "Xue Yan, Minister of Dali Temple, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the King of Han."

Zhu Gaoxu looked thoughtful, raised his head and pointed to the chair next to him.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu said directly: "Xue Siqing, are you willing to join me and serve my king now?"

Xue Yan was stunned for a moment, then remained silent for a while, and then asked cautiously: "My lord will not pursue the fault of the subordinate anymore?"

"Of course!" Zhu Gaoxu said, and then said very skillfully, "My credit is very good, even Zhang Fu, the great general of the Ping-Han Dynasty, can trust my terms."

A "deal" expression suddenly appeared on Xue Yan's face. After all, he had too few choices.He immediately knelt down on the ground, and said with a grateful expression: "I thank the prince, and I am willing to follow the prince to do the work of dogs and horses!"

"It's easy to say. Get up!" Zhu Gaoxu said, "You can do something for me now. This matter cannot be delayed. If it is delayed for a day, the credibility will drop by [-]%. We'd better get it done today!"

Xue Yan bowed hurriedly and said, "My lord, please show me."

5 Chapter Ninety Are All Real

Xue Yan went back to Dali Temple, took some things, and returned to the signing room of the Ministry of Rites.At this time, within [-] steps outside the signing room, no one else is allowed to approach, Zhu Gaoxu's confidant Chen Dachui is in charge of watching the outside.

Under the setting sun, the quaint courtyard of the Ministry of Rites is very quiet.But the surrounding guard posts added a bit of tension here.

There is a small window on the high part of the west wall in the signing room; the sunlight that was originally slanted in has become more and more flat, and from the perspective, it is not far from Youshi at this time!

Under the urgent and hasty time, Zhu Gaoxu was still able to hold his breath.He was sitting next to the table, his movements were calm and he didn't feel flustered. He was silently and quickly browsing through the secret volume that Xue Yan brought.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu looked up at Xue Yan, and said calmly, "Xue Siqing sit down."

Xue Yan, who had stood for a long time, clasped his fists together and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your seat."
